SECI and NTPC to build two 5GW renewable parks in India

These will be the first phases of the 25GW Ultra Mega RE Park project.

Indian state-owned power companies Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) and NTPC have reached an agreement with the government of Rajasthan (India) to develop two 5GW renewable energy parks in the state.

The two 5GW parks would be the first phases of a much bigger project, the 25GW Ultra Mega RE Park, which is proposed in Jaisalmer, and could combine solar PV plants with battery storage. In addition, the Indian government intends to develop another 25GW renewable park in Khavada (Gujarat).

Installed renewable power capacity in India crossed the 84GW threshold in December 2019 (84.4GW), with wind power capacity reaching 37,280MW, solar capacity at 32,530MW, biomass capacity at 9,940MW and small hydropower capacity at 4,650MW.
